To all whom it may concern:

Be it known llllitl ORSON W. likENIZl-lll, U. citizen of the United States, and l siding zit the ;ity uild county of Philadelphia, in the Ste/to of Pennsylvania, has invented certain new klfltl usel'ui lmpno'enwnts in Pairing-Machines, oi which the following is :1 full, clear, and exact description, reference heing hurl to the accompanying drawings, or .rlclr- Figure 1 is a vertical, medial section. F g 2 is an elevation. Fig. 3 is an enlarged section on lini- :r of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an elevation of a portion of the revoluhle disk.

This invention rehttes to improvements in nuichines l'or paring potatoes, apples and the like, and

the object of the invention is to provide a. simple and efficient machine for this purpose.

To this end, the invention consists in the combinations herein-alter set forth, and particularly pointed out in the churns.

1 is a. standard or supporting fnune upon which is mounted a receptacle, 2, polygonal in horizontal section, and whose inner surface is provided with. vertical, extending corri teeth, in this instance, are all directed in i'erentinl direction, us seen most clearly in Fig. I}. receptacle, 2, is pn. Jided with at bottom, 1, the slitiace of which is inclined toward an outlet opening, a, as seen in Fig. l, for a purpose hereinafter appearing. Secured to the upper end of a vertical shalt. (i, extending through and journnled in the bottom, 4, ol' the receptacle, 2, is a. horizontally disposed disk u! pinto, 7, of a peculiar construction hereinafter deserihi-d. On the lower end of said shalt, 6, is a beveled gear. 8, engaging at corresponding re-tr, 9, on n. horiazoulu-l shaft, 10, journnled in the frame, l; said shaft having tight and loose pulleys, 11 and ill. The top or the receptacle, 2, is normally closed by a. cover or lid. 13 having in its upper portion a chamber, l4 provided with perforations, 15, extending thereiron'i into the upper pan-t of the receptncle, 3. and which (rlnunher, l-l, communit-ates, by way of u pipe, ill. with 11 source of wrttei supply, itll or a purpose hereinafter n-ppeziring. The disk, 7, is circular in plnn, Mltl its perimeter is adjacent the inne' will of the i -(ept-nelw, 2 The surface of the disk is provided with lztdlitl con rugntions, forming teeth, l7, which teeth, in this instance, all point in a. direction opposite to tlntt ol the teeth, 3, of the receptacle, 2. ,The upper surface of the'disk, 7, is throughout provided with :1 series of undulations, l9, rising from points adjacent the con ter of the disk, and describing spiral curves respec-- tively, and terminating at the perimeter of the dish. The elevation of said undulations beginning at 20, at the center of the disk, and gradually and uniformly he tircuno The tions, forming teeth.
